looks like a mounted ratchet strap.

It has one hole on each side as if it would mount to something.

I don't think it has. it isn't a lashing winch, fence stretcher, or any of the above.

Its a winch.

Its a winch.

Actually it is not .. It is a chain sprocket off of a piece of old farm equipment.

Sorry .. the proof is in the pudding as the old saying goes, only in this case, the proof is in the sprocket.

That prooves / solves nothing.
I said "similiar" ... NOT the SAME... heh
Two different eras... two differnt locking mechanisms.... same function.

Guess you missed the modern version i posted.

PS... this could be possibly solved IF the OP had cleaned / posted the info that is clearly embosed on it.

No.. I didn't miss it .. and no .. not the same function at all. One is a ratcheting mechanism.. the other is a chain sprocket. Do you know the difference?
